9 Introduction Some questions of general interest Shall we consider lattices as structures or materials from a mechanics point of view? At what relative length-scale a lattice structure can be considered as a material with equivalent elastic properties? In what ways structural irregularities mess up equivalent elastic properties? Can we evaluate it in a quantitative as well as in a qualitative manner? What is the consequence of random structural irregularities on the homogenisation approach in general? Can we obtain statistical measures? Is there any underlying ergodic behaviour for large random lattices so that ensemble statistics is close to a sample statistics? How large is large? How can we efficiently compute equivalent elastic properties of random lattice structures? Adhikari (Swansea) Mechanics of irregular honeycomb structures 28 June 216 9

10 Introduction Regular lattice structures Honeycombs have been modelled as a continuous solid with an equivalent elastic moduli throughout its domain. This approach eliminates the need of detail finite element modelling of honeycombs in complex structural systems like sandwich structures. Extensive amount of research has been carried out to predict the equivalent elastic properties of regular honeycombs consisting of perfectly periodic hexagonal cells (El-Sayed et al., 1979; Gibson and Ashby, 1999; Goswami, 26; Masters and Evans, 1996; Zhang and Ashby, 1992). Analysis of two dimensional honeycombs dealing with in-plane elastic properties are commonly based on unit cell approach, which is applicable only for perfectly periodic cellular structures.

12 Introduction Regular Honeycomb Equivalent elastic properties of regular honeycombs The cell walls are treated as beams of thickness t, depth b and Young s modulus E s. l and h are the lengths of inclined cell walls having inclination angle θ and the vertical cell walls respectively. The equivalent elastic properties are: ( ) 3 t cos θ E 1 = E s l ( h l + sin θ) sin 2 (1) θ ( ) 3 t ( h l + sin θ) E 2 = E s l cos 3 (2) θ cos 2 θ ν 12 = ( h l + sin θ) sin θ ν 21 = ( h l + sin θ) sin θ cos 2 (4) θ ( ) 3 ( t h l + sin θ ) G 12 = E s l ( h ) 2 (5) l (1 + 2 h l ) cos θ (3) Adhikari (Swansea) Mechanics of irregular honeycomb structures 28 June

13 Introduction Regular Honeycomb Finite element modelling and verification A finite element code has been developed to obtain the in-plane elastic moduli numerically for honeycombs. Each cell wall has been modelled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam element having three degrees of freedom at each node. For E 1 and ν 12 : two opposite edges parallel to direction-2 of the entire honeycomb structure are considered. Along one of these two edges, uniform stress parallel to direction-1 is applied while the opposite edge is restrained against translation in direction-1. Remaining two edges (parallel to direction-1) are kept free. For E 2 and ν 21 : two opposite edges parallel to direction-1 of the entire honeycomb structure are considered. Along one of these two edges, uniform stress parallel to direction-2 is applied while the opposite edge is restrained against translation in direction-2. Remaining two edges (parallel to direction-2) are kept free. For G 12 : uniform shear stress is applied along one edge keeping the opposite edge restrained against translation in direction-1 and 2, while the remaining two edges are kept free.

16 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Irregular lattice structures A significant limitation of the aforementioned unit cell approach is that it cannot account for the spatial irregularity, which is practically inevitable. Spatial irregularity in honeycomb may occur due to manufacturing uncertainty, structural defects, variation in temperature, pre-stressing and micro-structural variability in honeycombs. To include the effect of irregularity, voronoi honeycombs have been considered in several studies (Li et al., 25; Zhu et al., 21, 26). The effect of different forms of irregularity on elastic properties and structural responses of honeycombs are generally based on direct finite element (FE) simulation. In the FE approach, a small change in geometry of a single cell may require completely new geometry and meshing of the entire structure. In general this makes the entire process time-consuming and tedious. The problem becomes even worse for uncertainty quantification of the responses associated with irregular honeycombs, where the expensive finite element model is needed to be simulated for a large number of samples while using a Monte Carlo based approach.

17 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Irregular lattice structures Direct numerical simulation to deal with irregularity in honeycombs may not necessarily provide proper understanding of the underlying physics of the system. An analytical approach could be a simple, insightful, yet an efficient way to obtain effective elastic properties of honeycombs. This work develops a structural mechanics based analytical framework for predicting equivalent in-plane elastic properties of irregular honeycomb having spatially random variations in cell angles. Closed-form analytical expressions will be derived for equivalent in-plane elastic properties. Adhikari (Swansea) Mechanics of irregular honeycomb structures 28 June

18 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs The philosophy of the analytical approach for irregular honeycombs The key idea to obtain the effective in-plane elastic moduli of the entire irregular honeycomb structure is that it is considered to be consisted of several Representative Unit Cell Elements (RUCE) having different individual elastic moduli. The expressions for elastic moduli of a RUCE is derived first and subsequently the expressions for effective in-plane elastic moduli of the entire irregular honeycomb are derived by assembling the individual elastic moduli of these RUCEs using basic principles of mechanics (divide and concur!).

20 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Longitudinal Young s modulus (E 1 ) Elastic property of a representative unit cell element (RUCE) The inclined cell walls having inclination angle α and β do not have any contribution in the analysis, as the stresses applied on them in two opposite directions neutralise each other. The remaining structure except these two inclined cell walls is symmetric. The applied stresses cause the inclined cell walls having inclination angle θ to bend. From the condition of equilibrium, the vertical forces C in the free-body diagram of these cell walls need to be zero. The cell walls are treated as beams of thickness t, depth b and Young s modulus E s. l and h are the lengths of inclined cell walls having inclination angle θ and the vertical cell walls respectively. Therefore, we have where M = Pl sin θ 2 (6) P = σ 1 (h + l sin θ)b (7) Adhikari (Swansea) Mechanics of irregular honeycomb structures 28 June 216 2

21 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Longitudinal Young s modulus (E 1 ) Elastic property of a representative unit cell element (RUCE) From the standard beam theory, the deflection of one end compared to the other end of the cell wall can be expressed as δ = Pl3 sin θ 12E s I (8) where I is the second moment of inertia of the cell wall, that is I = bt 3 /12. The component of δ parallel to direction-1 is δ sin θ. The strain parallel to direction-1 becomes ɛ 1 = δ sin θ (9) l cos θ Thus the Young s modulus in direction-1 for a RUCE can be expressed as E 1U = σ 1 ɛ 1 = E s ( ) 3 t cos θ ( ) l h + sin θ sin 2 θ l (1) Next we use this to obtain E 1 for the entire structure.

23 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Longitudinal Young s modulus (E 1 ) Elastic property of the entire irregular honeycomb To obtain E 1eq, stress σ 1 is applied in direction-1. If the deformation compatibility condition of j th strip (as highlighted in the figure) is considered, the total deformation due to stress σ 1 of that particular strip ( 1 ) is the summation of individual deformations of each RUCEs in direction-1, while deformation of each of these RUCEs in direction-2 is the same. Thus for the j th strip 1 = The equation (11) can be rewritten as m 1ij (11) i=1 ɛ 1 L = m ɛ 1ij L ij (12) i=1 where ɛ 1 and L represent strain and dimension in direction-1 of respective elements.

28 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Transverse Young s modulus (E 2 ) Elastic property of a representative unit cell element (RUCE) Total deformation of the RUCE in direction-2 consists of three components, namely deformation of the cell wall having inclination angle α, deformation of the cell walls having inclination angle θ and deformation of the cell wall having inclination angle β. If the remaining structure except the two inclined cell walls having inclination angle α and β is considered, two forces that act at joint B are W and M 1. For the cell wall having inclination angle α, effect of the bending moment M 1 generated due to application of W at point D is only to create rotation (φ) at the joint B. Vertical deformation of the cell wall having inclination angle α has two components, bending deformation in direction-2 and rotational deformation due the rotation of joint B.

35 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Transverse Young s modulus (E 2 ) Special case: classical deterministic results The expressions of Young s moduli for randomly irregular honeycombs (equation (17) and (28)) reduces to the formulae provided by Gibson and Ashby (Gibson and Ashby, 1999) in case of uniform honeycombs (i.e. B 1 = B 2 =... = B n ; s = h/2; α = β = 9 ; l ij = l and θ ij = θ, for all i and j). By applying the conditions B 1 = B 2 =... = B n ; l ij = l and θ ij = θ, equation (17) and (28) reduce to E 1U and E 2U respectively. For s = h/2 and α = β = 9, E 1U and E 2U produce the same expressions for Young s moduli of uniform honeycomb as presented by Gibson and Ashby (Gibson and Ashby, 1999).

G 12Uij represents the shear modulus of a RUCE positioned at (i,j). Adhikari (Swansea) Mechanics of irregular honeycomb structures 28 June

50 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Shear modulus (G 12 ) Elastic property of the entire irregular honeycomb To ensure the deformation compatibility condition γ = γ ij for i = 1, 2,..., m in the j th strip. Thus equation (53) leads to m G 12Uij l ij cos θ ij i=1 Ĝ 12j = (54) m l ij cos θ ij i=1 Total lateral deformation of one edge compared to the opposite edge of the entire honeycomb structure under the application of shear stress τ is the summation of the individual lateral deformations of n number of strips. Thus n γb = γ j B j (55) j=1 By definition of G 12 equation (55) leads to τ n τ j B = B G 12eq Gˆ j (56) 12j j=1 Adhikari (Swansea) Mechanics of irregular honeycomb structures 28 June 216 5

51 Equivalent elastic properties of random irregular honeycombs Shear modulus (G 12 ) Elastic property of the entire irregular honeycomb From equation (54) and (56), the equivalent shear modulus of the entire irregular honeycomb structure can be expressed as: Equivalent G 12 G 12eq = n B j j=1 1 m l ij cos θ ij i=1 m G 12Uij l ij cos θ ij i=1 n B j (57) j=1 Here G 12Uij can be obtained from equation (51).

52 Uncertainty modelling and simulation Computational model and validation The analytical approach is capable of obtaining equivalent in-plane elastic properties for irregular honeycombs from known random spatial variation of cell angle and material properties of the honeycomb cells. The homogenised properties depend on the ratios h/l, t/l, s/l and the angles θ, α, β. In addition, the two Young s moduli and shear modulus also depend on E s. We show results for h/l = 1.5 and three values of cell angle θ, namely: 3, 45 and 6. As the two Young s moduli and shear modulus of low density honeycomb are proportional to E s ρ 3 (Zhu et al., 21), the non-dimensional results for elastic moduli E 1, E 2, ν 12, ν 21 and G 12 have been obtained using Ē 1 = E 1eq E s ρ 3, Ē 2 = E 2eq E s ρ 3, ν 12 = ν 12eq, ν 21 = ν 21eq and G 12 = G 12eq E s ρ 3 respectively, where. represents the non-dimensional elastic modulus and ρ is the relative density of honeycomb (ratio of the planar area of solid to the total planar area of the honeycomb).

54 Uncertainty modelling and simulation Computational model and validation For the purpose of finding the range of variation in elastic moduli due to spatial uncertainty, cell angles and material properties can be perturbed following a random distribution within specific bounds.

55 Uncertainty modelling and simulation Computational model and validation The maximum, minimum and mean values of non-dimensional in-plane elastic moduli for different degree of spatially random variations in cell angles ( θ =, 1, 3, 5, 7 ) are calculated using both direct finite element simulation and the derived closed-form expressions. For a particular cell angle θ, results have been obtained using a set of uniformly distributed 1 random samples in the range of [θ θ, θ + θ]. The set of input parameter for a particular sample consists of N number of cell angles in the specified range, where N(= n m) is the total number of RUCEs in the entire irregular honeycomb structure. We used 1681 RUCEs (as this was needed for convergence of the deterministic case). The quantities h and θ have been considered as the two random input parameters while α, β and l are dependent features. Adhikari (Swansea) Mechanics of irregular honeycomb structures 28 June

66 Results and discussions Main observations Main observations The elastic moduli obtained using the analytical method and by finite element simulation are in good agreement - establishing the validity of the closed-form expressions. The number of input random variables (cell angle) increase with the number of cells. The variation in E 1 and ν 12 due to spatially random variations in cell angles is very less, while there is considerable amount of reductions in the values of E 2, ν 21 and G 12 with increasing degree of irregularity. Longitudinal Young s modulus, transverse Young s modulus and shear modulus are functions of both structural geometry and material properties of the irregular honeycomb (i.e. ratios h/l, t/l, s/l and angles θ, α, β and E s ), while the Poisson s ratios depend only on structural geometry of irregular honeycombs (i.e. ratios h/l, t/l, s/l and angles θ, α, β) For large number of random cells ( 17), we observe the emergence of an effective ergodic behaviour - ensemble statistics become close to single sample statistics.
